Slow the descent speed
See Enroute Descent
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,699 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,699 m of the 2,895 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 411 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 02 at LPPT Humberto Delgado Airport (Lisbon Portela Airport). The takeoff distance was 1,094 meters, which is 35% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 176 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 319 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 1 knot. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Camarate, a location in the Distrito de Lisboa, Portugal. The climb took 17 minutes and covered a distance of 126 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 1,315 feet above sea level to 36,168 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,853 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 9 miles west of LPSG Pista do Cabeço da Vaca Sabugal, a location in the Distrito da Guarda, Portugal. This phase lasted for 218 minutes and covered a distance of 1,575 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 17 miles east of Kudjape, a location in Saaremaa, Estonia. The descent took 18 minutes and covered a distance of 82 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 35,219 feet above sea level to 1,963 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,256 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 4 miles northeast of EVTI Valgundes lidlauks Tireli, a location in Jelgavas novads, Latvia. This phase lasted for 6 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 36 at EVRA Riga International Airport, approaching from the south at a heading of 5.0 degrees and at an altitude of 1,263 feet above ground level, 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 36 at EVRA Riga International Airport was successful, with a touchdown distance of 410 meters and a touchdown speed of 142 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was good at -196 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 6 knots at 320 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 4 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,620 meters, which is 56% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,798 nautical miles, taking a total of 269 minutes, and the aircraft used 32,806 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at Riga International Airport, achieving a high score of 99.2%. The final approach to runway 36 was conducted from the south, with a heading of 5.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,263 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, indicating a precise and controlled descent. The threshold speed of 144 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the landing phase. The touchdown distance of 410 meters was also satisfactory, indicating a smooth and controlled touchdown.
However, the touchdown speed of 142 knots was slightly higher than the desired speed, which may have resulted in a slightly longer rollout distance. Nevertheless, the touchdown rate of -196 feet per minute was good, indicating a controlled and stable descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 18°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 320°. The crosswind component was minimal at 4 knots, while the headwind component was also 4 knots, resulting in a negligible effect on the aircraft's landing performance.
The total landing distance of 1,620 meters was 56% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short rollout distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway with a good threshold height, speed, and touchdown rate. The favorable weather conditions and the pilot's skillful handling of the aircraft contributed to a safe and efficient landing.
